Don't buy anything unless it's a STEAM[steampowered.com] front page deal until the last day of the sale. Most games will be discounted but there's a chance that they'll be featured as a daily deal which drops the price further.

On top of offering huge discounts, this is the second summer sale in which Steam has in game achievements tied to digital items as well as entries into a raffle awarding 100 random account holders the top 10 games on their wishlists. So if you haven't updated or created a wishlist, now is the time to do so.

Play games to earn special Steam Summer Camp Steam Achievements. Each one earns you a Prize Ticket. Then, redeem your Prize Tickets for all kinds of in-game content (cars, maps, hippos, hats, and more...). Prize tickets must be redeemed during the Steam Summer Camp Sale. You can keep track of all this on your Steam Profile page.

100 lucky campers will get the top 10 games on their Steam Wishlist (in a burst of creativity, we decided to call this the “Grand Prize Giveaway”). First, create and organize your Steam Wishlist. For every Prize Ticket you earn, you will be entered into the Grand Prize Giveaway. Your entries are tracked here and on your Steam Profile page. We’ll draw the winners at the conclusion of the Steam Summer Camp Sale.

Don't forget, to avoid the infamous Steam "I-can't-buy-anything-on-the-last-day-of-the-sale" Account Lock, consider adding money to your Steam Wallet. To get to your Wallet, click on the <Steam ID>'s Account link in the top right corner of the Steam Client. On your account page you will be able to add funds via your normal purchase method (see pic below) and not make multiple micro transactions throughout the week, reducing the probability of not being able to purchase to practically nil. This is also helpful if you are on a budget.
IIRC, thanks goes to Insomniac34 for first mentioning this to me many moons ago. -OnlineHound
